Thoroughly wash and dry Roma tomatoes. Remove the stem, if any. Cut each piece in half, lengthwise.
Gently place sliced Roma tomatoes skin side up onto the Air Fryer tray. Lightly brush with oil (or spray, if using).
Turn each Roma tomato over, skin side down. Then lightly brush (or spray) with oil.
Season with salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, dried basil, and dried whole oregano.
Slowly insert tray into the middle cooking chamber, near the rotisserie catch.
Roast Roma tomatoes until they are done to your liking or once skin are blistered and the tomatoes are soft and squishy.
Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil before serving.
Serve as is, cut up in bite-sized pieces and added to your salad or on top of a crusty bread, or make a tomato-based sauce.
Notes
